Summary: Refreshing tribute to the new age of horror....
Review: I'm not a big fan of Rob Zombie's music, only slightly with White Zombie.
So the idea of him making a movie sort of gave me the same feeling of nausea
that Dee Snyder did when he crossed over from the world of glam shock rock
to the world of directing horror films. I couldn't have been more wrong in
my confidence of Zombie's work...he is a far better filmmaker than a
musician...it is his calling and he is the real deal. His videos sold his
band White Zombie and they are what really put Rob on the map, so after
putting that into perspective this should be no surprise. House of a
Thousand Corpses is a horror fan's delight complete with gore, madness,
nudity and a set that pulls at the darkest corners of our imaginations...the
kind of evil places we dream about but yet connect to our very own lives and
invade the stability of our realities. I swear I've dreamt of some of the
horrible places we see in this film as merely extensions and lower levels to
my very own house. Zombie borrows from horror masters (maybe a little too much from Toby Hooper
and Dario Argento) and he gives us a feel that we are stuck in a place that
is a cross between his imagination and original ideas, Texas Chainsaw
Massacre and Susperia...two great horror films to learn from by the way.
The key to Zombie's film is he eases you in and teases you with terror and
constantly sets you up to trust him and then catches you off guard and lets
his madness run the show. It is suspense, it is shock and it is sheer
horror and gore...there is nothing else worth setting out to do in his eyes
and to me that is just fine. However, there are even several scenes that
are scary on a deeper level and even some sinister and respectable dialogue. Alas, here is the premise. Two young couples are on a journey to find and
research roadside tourist attractions and stumble upon Captain Spaulding's
House of Madness. If I passed through his haunted house ride I would be a
little concerned and probably would've turned the boat around at that very
moment. One of the character's takes an interest in the local legend of Dr.
Satan and longs to visit his grave. This guy is played by Chris Hardwick
who used to host MTV's Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy and then Carmen
Electra. Anyway, he is watchable and easy to relate too. Two of the others
are played by newbies but the main heroine is played by Erin Daniels who
performed very well in Mark Romanek's (another great music video director)
One Hour Photo. Anyway, they get stranded blah blah blah...we've seen this
part before but Zombie does it all with style and isn't even topped by the
very best of horror films. He lets his truly innocent victims journey into
a world that is a total hell and get violated without justification. The
best scene in the movie is also the only one that provokes laughter as
obviously as any others...it is played against every expected cliche and
does so with a jolly Slim Whitman song playing full force and the scene ends
as you wait and wait for any glimmer of hope for good to triumph to be
eradicated...and I mean wait, the suspense here is numbing. Zombie is good at what he does and that is give us horrible things to think
about and look at with absolutely no mercy. He is unconventional and
against most cliches we've seen in this genre and he has given us yet
another breath of fresh air in recent years for horror movies. I honestly
couldn't recommend a film more to lovers of this genre, this is hardcore
horror.

Summary: one star is to much
Review: Only an arrogant wanna-be artist could produce such a horrible dish of refried (attempted)horror, done a hundred times before (way better), without even coming close to scare! many old so called B movies make u laugh here and there, are original and often frightening or overwhelm you with the gore, this movie does neither.
it's boring, horrible acting, lousy directing, awful cinematography, not even the simplest gore exists to at least satisfy your average superficial gore hound.
a total waste of time, i hope YOU didnt pay to watch this garbage. And DAMN, even the special features on the DVD are beyound belief. take the worst horror movie you have ever seen, substract any intelligent thinking that might have been involved, add a bottle of valium and tadaaaa... thats house of a 1000 corpses! no wonder 2 studios dropped this movie, before Rob Zombie found Lions Gate; they knew they could sell garbage as long as they could label it with Rob Zombies name.
if u want to see real horror watch ultimo mondo cannibale, dawn of the dead, the new york ripper, 28 days later or even the to smoothly made wrong turn.

Summary: Don't Quit Your Day Jobs
Review: This isn't a good movie. This isn't even a good cheese flick. This movie is the crappiest waste of celluloid I've seen in a long time. Don't subject yourself OR your worst enemy to this filth.
This film isn't self-depreciating, it isn't even funny in it's grotesqueness.This movie is just BAAAD! Bad acting, bad editing, bad rehash of an old concept. Texas Chainsaw Massacre with trailer trash running the show. By that I mean the cast AND crew.
The only thing even remotely creepy is Sheri Moon's portrayal of a psycho just a little too well. It's not a compliment. Rob, just because you've decided to shack up with your go-go dancer doesn't mean the rest of the world is as smitten as you. Keep her in the cage or in the nudie mags, but not EVER on the screen again!
Horrifyingly Disappointing, this movie is the first to get my Seal of Disapproval. Stick to music, Mr. Zombie. That's definitely what you do best.

Summary: A bit annoying but pretty cool!
Review: O.K. let me just start off by saying that, if you don't like rob zombie or his music...then don't even consider watching this movie! You need to be a metal head to be into this kind of stuff. Anyways, basically this movies about a group of friends are out on a little tour to add stuff to there book. they come across this wierd place. They go in and find out a place called "Dr. Satan" but on the way to find that person, they pick up a hitch hicker and end up giving her..yes her...a ride to her house, they go in with her and the other kids end up getting tortued by this demented family! its kind of a crack head movie but I think its awesome!

Summary: House of 1000 Clichés
Review: This is by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It reminded me of being the only sober person at a party where everyone is drunk or stoned - scary (for the wrong reasons),boring and unfunny. But perhaps being intoxicated on some drug while watching might make this movie a little more entertaining. "Directed" by Rob Zombie, this movie feels like it was directed by a zombie. Promising to be something new and refreshing, this film is virtually plotless, pulls out just about every tired old Hollywood scary movie cliché (lost young people, creaky old house, weird backwoods family, thunder and lightning)that's been done 1000 times (and much better) before. Neither scary nor unintentionally funny, it's just overly gory, gross and stupid. The only good thing I can say is that the editing (intercut with this plodding film is some pretty disturbing nightmarish visuals)is quite good. The so-called special features on the DVD are a big letdown, including a pointless "behind the scenes" clip that is so boring you'd swear they just left the cameras rolling by accident. Another "feature" is something called "Tiny F**ked A Stump" that has three of the no-talent actors (no doubt stoned on something) standing around repeating one stupid joke and finding it hilarious (except it's not). Rehearsal clips prove that without Zombie's backing (hopefully he wasted his own money), this film would have remained the college student's project that it really is. Let's hope in the future Rob Zombie stays away from cameras and concentrates on making bad music that no one listens to.

Summary: House Of 1000 Re+@rds
Review: What the HELL was this??? Atrocious directing, brainless script, amazingly moronic plot... this thing was like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 meets I Am Sam. Everyone in this movie has the intelligence of Warren in There's Something About Mary. I don't know what Rob was thinking with this... but he failed miserably. Not at ALL what I expected. No wonder so many studios dropped this piece of 5h!+

Summary: Perfect use of a psychotic, dysfunctional family
Review: I've been waiting for a movie like this for a long time. I thought that it was very chilling. Imagine yourself in the same situation. What would you do to surivive? Most people will not like this film, but those who love horror movies and splatter-gore movies will love it.

Summary: House of 1000 Corpses
Review: Rob Zombie makes his directorial debut in the film that critics tore to shreds. I can see how it's misunderstood, it's chopped and diced --- but done with brilliance. The film is both terrifying and hilarious. This film will be appreciated in years to come, due to the shortage in vintage horror films (i.e- Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and how toned down horror films have been made lately. The film involves two teenage couples who are stuck out in the sticks and out of gas (I know this sounds cliched). The couple end up at a little gas station/museum ran by a psycho clown by the name Captain Spaulding. The museum isn't a museum, it's a house of horror's. The young couple takes the tour and are soon on there way to hell. The horror house is made up of the likes of Ed Gein and 'Doctor Satan,' a local serial-killer. Soon after the tour the group trys to find the legendary Doctor Satan. But along the way the group finds their car quitting and having to find refuge in a house occupied by a hiker they picked up (and her psychopathic family). What they soon find out is that Doctor Satan isn't a legend, he's the ring-leader of this Manson family. The DVD itself is worth an extra look. First up, is the audio commentary by director Rob Zombie. It's worth listening to. The deleted scenes are pretty good as well. But the gem of the DVD is the interactive menu. The menu has Captain Spaulding, talking foul-mouthed trash at the viewer. This is priceless. If you loved such cult-classics as 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Motel Hell' then, please --- DON'T MISS THIS!
